Description jbrauher 2025-11-09 18:06:00 UTC
SUMMARY
In the Geolocation Editor, I have multiple photos that I select and then want to apply the same GPS (Lat, Lon) coordinates to in bulk

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In the thumbnail viewer, select multiple images together, then select "Edit Geolocation" under the Item menu
2. Once the Geolocation editor window pops up, select the multiple images together in the Geolocation editor
3. Select "Coordinates" in the right panel of the Geolocation editor and enter the Lat and Lon coordinates
4. Hit "Apply" at the bottom of the Geolocation editor.

OBSERVED RESULT
1. The Lat and Lon coordinates entered into the right panel of the Geolocation editor were only applied to the first image in the list of images that I multi-selected to apply the coordinates to.  
2. As a result, I have to select each image individually, enter the coordinates, and apply within the Geolocation

EXPECTED RESULT
1. All images that were selected in the Geolocation editor left panel would have the Lat & Lon coordinates entered in the right panel applied to them when the "Apply" button was pressed

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Is there a way outside of the bulk metadata editor to apply GPS coordinates to multiple images at once if those images have the same GPS coordinates / geolocation?

The intended method is to select the item(s) from the list below the map and place them on the map via drag & drop.
It is also possible to apply coordinates from the clipboard to all items via the context menu of the Item List.
